And Mia is doing a dog nance trying 0:01:38.040 --> 0:01:40.160 to get in the shot. She want to be in 0:01:40.800 --> 0:01:43.959 the face is pretty me.

She's a teacup Pomeranian. 0:01:56.400 --> 0:01:58.920 But she didn't know she's a teacup. Well, no, she 0:01:58.960 --> 0:02:04.560 thinks she's a pit full Okay, So I want to 0:02:04.600 --> 0:02:07.040 start off with a little rapid fire. Okay, so just 0:02:07.080 --> 0:02:09.280 say the first thing that comes to your head when 0:02:09.320 --> 0:02:12.880 I say the word. Okay, They're going to be great. Okay, 0:02:12.919 --> 0:02:14.960 all right, let's have a bucket list. Oh I want 0:02:14.960 --> 0:02:19.440 to go to Tahiti. Yes, I have a few like 0:02:19.480 --> 0:02:21.480 boar boar, there's a bunch, you know, those little huts 0:02:21.520 --> 0:02:23.760 on the water. That's what I want to do. Okay, 0:02:23.760 --> 0:02:27.080 So to he like island, You're an island girl, totally island, 0:02:27.120 --> 0:02:29.560 but but not just any island, you know. I want 0:02:29.560 --> 0:02:31.040 to go to like the really really cool ones. The 0:02:31.040 --> 0:02:33.520 problem is the travel time, and my husband won't go. 0:02:33.800 --> 0:02:36.160 He won't go. Well, he's just like that takes too long. Now, 0:02:36.639 --> 0:02:38.720 how about the bombs. I'm like, well, I mean that's 0:02:38.720 --> 0:02:42.600 great too. However, yeah, Yetta, you gotta do a little 0:02:42.720 --> 0:02:45.280 more like you want to like islands. I think it 0:02:45.280 --> 0:02:47.799 would be worth the travel time because you guys got 0:02:47.800 --> 0:02:52.320 married in Mexico, so y'all started off your relationship island 0:02:52.360 --> 0:02:55.640 island totally. Actually, yeah, he wanted to get married at 0:02:55.639 --> 0:02:58.519 the beach, so it was mostly his idea. I was 0:02:58.600 --> 0:02:59.840 kind of like, I don't care because at the end 0:02:59.840 --> 0:03:01.160 of the day, I get to marry you, and that's 0:03:01.160 --> 0:03:03.679 all good wherever we go. I don't care. I love 0:03:03.760 --> 0:03:06.480 that your hair was amazing. You did say something on 0:03:06.520 --> 0:03:09.920 your wedding day though, that never tried new products. Yeah, 0:03:10.000 --> 0:03:14.400 I heard never tried new products because I tried a sunscreen. 0:03:14.520 --> 0:03:18.120 It was sunbomb and my skin is super sensitive. So 0:03:18.400 --> 0:03:21.640 we left a little gift boxes in all the rooms 0:03:21.639 --> 0:03:25.040 for all of our guests and sunbum We had like 0:03:25.080 --> 0:03:28.400 alo and chapstick and sunscreen and all this. So I 0:03:28.440 --> 0:03:30.399 was like, well, I obviously don't want to be sunburned 0:03:30.440 --> 0:03:33.760 on my wedding day, so I'm gonna use this precaution. Yeah, 0:03:33.960 --> 0:03:36.480 just use this sunscreen. Not even thinking about it, just 0:03:36.520 --> 0:03:38.120 put it on my face though. It was like thirty 0:03:38.240 --> 0:03:41.360 or something. And then the next day I woke up 0:03:41.360 --> 0:03:45.440 and it looked like I had chicken box everywhere. I 0:03:45.520 --> 0:03:47.320 haven't paid ak attack. And then I was like, okay, 0:03:47.360 --> 0:03:49.560 I just need some tequila and it'll all be good. 0:03:49.800 --> 0:03:51.760 Here is it all right? Yeah? So I just hearted 0:03:51.800 --> 0:03:57.760 a drinke pretty early and then and then uh yeah, 0:03:57.880 --> 0:03:59.320 I didn't. I wanted to get in the sun because 0:03:59.320 --> 0:04:01.480 I was like, maybe this your base plowless. You couldn't tell. 0:04:01.520 --> 0:04:02.960 You really couldn't tell. But it was because I had 0:04:02.960 --> 0:04:06.040 a makeup artist and he was the jam. I was like, 0:04:06.120 --> 0:04:07.880 you know, on all day, of all days, I want 0:04:07.920 --> 0:04:10.080 to do I don't want to do my makeup on 0:04:10.120 --> 0:04:12.360 my wedding day. So for you to say that someone 0:04:12.520 --> 0:04:14.200 is the jam as a makeup artist, they must be 0:04:14.240 --> 0:04:16.440 pretty great, though, because you are, to me, like the 0:04:16.480 --> 0:04:19.560 makeup guru kind of sore of all. You're very makeup 0:04:19.800 --> 0:04:22.599 is out of this world. You obviously like this is 0:04:22.640 --> 0:04:24.839 your business here. You have a YouTube page, you do 0:04:24.920 --> 0:04:28.200 pop up seminars, like you always are telling people what 0:04:28.279 --> 0:04:32.040 kind of brands to use tutorials. So for you to 0:04:32.120 --> 0:04:34.640 say that someone's great, he must be pretty good. He's good. 0:04:34.760 --> 0:04:38.280 His his name's mac Daddy on Instagram and his name 0:04:38.320 --> 0:04:40.760 is Angel. But he is awesome and I actually learned 0:04:40.760 --> 0:04:42.840 a lot from him. I'm like a sponge when I 0:04:42.839 --> 0:04:45.440 get other people to do my makeup because I'm always 0:04:45.480 --> 0:04:48.520 open to tried products and all that. So he he 0:04:48.640 --> 0:04:50.680 really saved me that day because I was like having 0:04:50.680 --> 0:04:54.000 an internal attack, your panic attack. I was freaking out 0:04:54.040 --> 0:04:56.760 because it's you, it's your way. Besides that, how was 0:04:56.800 --> 0:04:59.560 your wedding because it looked at it really was. The 0:04:59.640 --> 0:05:03.160 weather was awesome. The paparazzi, I can kiss my butt. 0:05:03.440 --> 0:05:06.400 Other than that, Yeah, they were in a boat at 0:05:06.400 --> 0:05:08.280 the end of the aisle, so you can imagine I'm 0:05:08.320 --> 0:05:12.760 coming up over this sand dune and I'm like, like, 0:05:12.839 --> 0:05:15.520 my husband's at the end of it, and there's cameras 0:05:15.520 --> 0:05:18.360 everywhere in a boat, so I'm like, people really are 0:05:18.400 --> 0:05:20.680 crazy like that. So some of my wedding party gave 0:05:20.720 --> 0:05:24.160 him the finger, and it was great that I didn't 0:05:24.200 --> 0:05:26.440 let them ruin it. Though that's great, And I love 0:05:26.480 --> 0:05:29.360 that too, because obviously you're married to Jason Auden and 0:05:29.480 --> 0:05:34.200 you are just so incredible on your own right, but together, 0:05:34.279 --> 0:05:35.919 you guys are this in the same power couple. So 0:05:36.000 --> 0:05:38.839 people when y'all got together, y'all had just had a 0:05:38.880 --> 0:05:40.480 ton of energy around you guys. But I feel like, 0:05:40.520 --> 0:05:44.239 if anything, y'all have been the strongest couple ever because 0:05:44.240 --> 0:05:47.520 people are so curious about your relationship. But it's like, 0:05:47.560 --> 0:05:49.160 to me, that's just like a great way to start. 0:05:49.200 --> 0:05:50.920 It's like, okay, here, yeah, find out about it. We're 0:05:50.920 --> 0:05:52.640 gon show you how right we are. We haven't been 0:05:52.680 --> 0:05:55.839 through anything, like there's nothing else that could tears, Like 0:05:55.880 --> 0:05:59.440 we've been through so much crap that at this point 0:05:59.440 --> 0:06:02.240 it's like throw it at us. It's fine, you know, 0:06:02.320 --> 0:06:04.000 like nothing can break us because we've been through so 0:06:04.080 --> 0:06:07.159 much already. So it was like, you know, I just 0:06:07.200 --> 0:06:10.279 love him so much. And it's funny because sometimes you 0:06:10.320 --> 0:06:12.720 do things that are so not your character, are so 0:06:13.400 --> 0:06:15.560 out of your realm for the people that you love, 0:06:15.680 --> 0:06:20.360 and absolutely, because I will be darned, I'm like, you know, 0:06:20.480 --> 0:06:22.800 sometimes I was like, how is this worth it? But 0:06:23.160 --> 0:06:25.919 it absolutely is because I got to marry such a 0:06:25.960 --> 0:06:28.520 good man. So I'm very blessed. You guys are the 0:06:28.520 --> 0:06:32.960 sweetest couple ever. So great, thank you. So okay, got 0:06:33.000 --> 0:06:37.080 record back to rapid fire. Yes, happiness, my head's been 0:06:37.279 --> 0:06:40.800 Any animals I want to throw you too, any animal 0:06:40.960 --> 0:06:43.360 with a heartbeat, don't care. Which is also ironic because 0:06:43.440 --> 0:06:45.240 Jason does love to hunt and has a hunting show. 0:06:45.279 --> 0:06:47.480 So is that like a dilemma in the marriage. Absolutely, 0:06:49.080 --> 0:06:51.360 when we talk about this stuff and we've just come 0:06:51.400 --> 0:06:52.719 to the point where we just have to agree to 0:06:52.760 --> 0:06:56.920 disagree because I'm like, I don't agree with you hunting. Okay, 0:06:56.960 --> 0:06:59.280 Well that's what I've always done, and this is part 0:06:59.320 --> 0:07:01.840 of a business and I'm involved in and remember here 0:07:01.839 --> 0:07:03.680 you go on the show about it, right, Absolutely, okay. 0:07:03.720 --> 0:07:05.240 So it's not just like a hobby. It's a thing. 0:07:05.400 --> 0:07:08.400 It's yeah, it's a thing. It's and he enjoys it, sincerely, 0:07:08.400 --> 0:07:11.080 grew up doing it and it's something that him and 0:07:11.080 --> 0:07:13.680 his dad used to do, and I it could not 0:07:13.720 --> 0:07:16.720 make me like to the point where back in the 0:07:16.800 --> 0:07:18.920 day he would put camo on and I knew where 0:07:18.960 --> 0:07:20.720 he was going obviously, I mean it would be full 0:07:20.760 --> 0:07:23.400 faced paint and I would cry. I would break down 0:07:23.400 --> 0:07:26.000 in the kitchen and throw a timber tanture of like 0:07:26.160 --> 0:07:29.160 please don't go. I just I know what you're gonna 0:07:29.200 --> 0:07:32.440 go to and I just can't handle it. So it's 0:07:32.480 --> 0:07:35.000 just the point where we he doesn't talk about it. 0:07:35.000 --> 0:07:38.600 It's like it doesn't exist because I'll go crazy. I 0:07:38.720 --> 0:07:41.280 actually was interviewing Ali Ryan, who has the dry house. 0:07:41.920 --> 0:07:43.760 You go to the dry house to get your hair done, 0:07:43.760 --> 0:07:45.560 so I so many great people go to the dry house, 0:07:45.680 --> 0:07:47.960 and we're talking about like different amazing people. She does. 0:07:48.000 --> 0:07:49.880 And one thing we said about you is you're basically 0:07:49.920 --> 0:07:54.280 Saint Francis, which is the Saint of animals. You love 0:07:54.360 --> 0:07:57.080 animals more than people. I think most of the time. Right, 0:07:58.920 --> 0:08:00.440 I mean, I'm sorry. I love all to people in 0:08:00.440 --> 0:08:02.640 my life. I love like a good amount, but I 0:08:02.680 --> 0:08:05.800 love every There's not an animal that I don't Where 0:08:05.800 --> 0:08:08.440 did that love come from? I don't really know. My 0:08:08.480 --> 0:08:10.520 parents say that I've always been that way. Like they 0:08:10.560 --> 0:08:12.920 would fix red meat and pork and I would just 0:08:13.200 --> 0:08:15.320 sit there and stare at the plate like I can't 0:08:15.320 --> 0:08:17.720 eat this because that was the pig. Like I knew 0:08:18.640 --> 0:08:20.920 way way early on in life, and so I just 0:08:21.240 --> 0:08:24.360 have don't eat all that stuff and like, I just 0:08:24.560 --> 0:08:27.360 didn't actually associate with the living animal. I think about 0:08:27.400 --> 0:08:30.200 it when I eat, and I there's no way I 0:08:30.240 --> 0:08:32.840 know what you mean, you know. I just feel like, 0:08:33.000 --> 0:08:34.880 now I'm going to throw up. It wasn't even worth 0:08:35.360 --> 0:08:37.720 trying it and died for you to eat it, And 0:08:37.760 --> 0:08:39.640 absolutely I know. I feel the same way. And I 0:08:39.640 --> 0:08:41.720 think about my dog and I'm like, I could have 0:08:41.760 --> 0:08:44.960 just as easily been my dog. I went to So 0:08:45.000 --> 0:08:47.400 I went to the University of Alabama and I went 0:08:47.440 --> 0:08:50.360 to a tailgate once and there was a it was 0:08:50.400 --> 0:08:52.280 like a pig roast or what the heck? Ever, I 0:08:52.320 --> 0:08:54.400 don't know, I don't I can't go to that stuff anymore. 0:08:54.400 --> 0:08:57.000 But I saw it and it I have an English 0:08:57.000 --> 0:09:00.360 bulldog and it looked like my ducks. My all looks 0:09:00.400 --> 0:09:04.560 like a pig to me. So I was like, scarred 0:09:04.559 --> 0:09:07.480 for life. Yeah, that looks like my animal. I feel 0:09:07.520 --> 0:09:09.439 you can't take it. I love the animals. I think 0:09:09.440 --> 0:09:13.000 that's so good, so sweet. Yeah, okay, okay. Next icon 0:09:14.040 --> 0:09:21.280 Beyonce always yes, it makes me want to have twins. 0:09:21.320 --> 0:09:25.319 I want to. She is like the queen. She's the 0:09:25.400 --> 0:09:30.960 queen and I've met her. Um I do thanks to 0:09:31.000 --> 0:09:32.800 my husband. He was like, do you want a picture? 0:09:32.840 --> 0:09:35.160 I'm like, yes, but I don't want to be that 0:09:35.240 --> 0:09:38.120 fan girl. But you know, but you also, he knew 0:09:38.160 --> 0:09:39.720 I didn't have to say anything. He's like, you want it. 0:09:39.720 --> 0:09:41.760 I'm like, baby, yeah, but I'm not going to ask 0:09:41.760 --> 0:09:44.800 because I'm not. I got to calm down here, and 0:09:45.400 --> 0:09:48.800 so we got a picture. She was so sweet, and 0:09:49.080 --> 0:09:50.920 it's funny because I was watching her as she kind 0:09:50.920 --> 0:09:52.880 of made her rounds around the room and she was 0:09:52.920 --> 0:09:55.600 so in tune with every conversation with every person. So 0:09:55.640 --> 0:09:58.360 it wasn't like she was I don't know you, I'm 0:09:58.360 --> 0:10:01.640 going to keep it moving. Deal. Yes, we were talking 0:10:01.640 --> 0:10:04.600 about Blue, she was talking about us having children. She was, 0:10:04.800 --> 0:10:07.400 I mean, such a normal person, but she just cared 0:10:07.400 --> 0:10:10.160 so much about every conversation that she was in. It 0:10:10.240 --> 0:10:13.040 was crazy. You know. I've heard that when I actually 0:10:13.080 --> 0:10:15.040 interviewed Megan Lindsay and she was talking about Farrell and 0:10:15.080 --> 0:10:17.720 she was saying that, like when Farrell speaks, he's like 0:10:17.800 --> 0:10:20.320 in the zone with like Beyonce. I guess you know, 0:10:20.400 --> 0:10:22.840 I think that's amazing trait that people have to be 0:10:22.920 --> 0:10:26.199 in the moment with people. Absolutely they're wanted in all 0:10:26.200 --> 0:10:29.280 these moments and you know that. Yes, So, I mean 0:10:29.360 --> 0:10:31.360 that's a crazy thing that she was able to do that. 0:10:31.520 --> 0:10:33.600 She she was you could just tell that she's so 0:10:33.679 --> 0:10:35.920 kind hearted. And so I was just watching her like, 0:10:36.679 --> 0:10:40.920 you're so amazing, you are just everything. Yes, Oh my god, 0:10:41.000 --> 0:10:42.680 she walked in this room. She had on this little 0:10:42.880 --> 0:10:44.679 it was almost like a leotard and a cape. I 0:10:44.679 --> 0:10:46.120 don't even know what she was wearing, but she can, 0:10:46.679 --> 0:10:48.680 you know, like she could wear a trash bag and 0:10:48.720 --> 0:10:51.160 she just rocks it. And she just walked in like 0:10:51.200 --> 0:10:53.280 it was like a force, you know, coming in the room, 0:10:53.280 --> 0:10:56.400 and she just I've always loved her, but then ever 0:10:56.440 --> 0:10:59.760 since then, knowing like how she kind of like you know, 0:11:00.120 --> 0:11:02.800 was was with other people, it was just really cool 0:11:02.800 --> 0:11:05.880 to see she's a good person too. I love that. 0:11:06.040 --> 0:11:07.880 I know, so I con for sure, I'll give you that. 0:11:08.120 --> 0:11:14.040 I'm agreeing. Okay. Inspiration oh, I would say I would 0:11:14.040 --> 0:11:17.320 say Jace because he's my husband, Jase. I call him 0:11:17.400 --> 0:11:23.840 jase Um because he handles things with such grace, like 0:11:23.920 --> 0:11:26.079 things that I would freak out over with an example, 0:11:27.120 --> 0:11:30.040 But like, okay, so I don't know if something goes on, 0:11:30.200 --> 0:11:31.920 you know, within his business or like on the tour. 0:11:32.200 --> 0:11:36.000 He never freaks. He doesn't ever. I mean it could 0:11:36.080 --> 0:11:38.200 he could say the lightning Chuck isn't here today, the 0:11:38.240 --> 0:11:40.000 show is gonna You're not gonna have to do it 0:11:40.000 --> 0:11:42.959 without lights, I mean something crazy, And he's like, all right, 0:11:43.240 --> 0:11:46.760 well does he like doing it without lights? He doesn't 0:11:46.800 --> 0:11:50.160 make it a big deal. Never never raises his voice, really, 0:11:50.640 --> 0:11:53.880 never never gets like so worked up to where he 0:11:53.920 --> 0:11:57.280 gets angry about things. He just handles things so calmly 0:11:57.679 --> 0:12:01.760 admire that It's very admirable because I would be going, 0:12:02.040 --> 0:12:03.840 oh crap, what are we going to do? Right, flying 0:12:03.840 --> 0:12:06.839 off the handle way more high strung and like he 0:12:07.040 --> 0:12:10.680 just I don't know. Just watching him handle this business 0:12:11.400 --> 0:12:13.680 that he runs. I can't imagine running a business where 0:12:13.679 --> 0:12:16.520 so many people depend on you a be handling it 0:12:16.559 --> 0:12:19.679 with such grace is really cool. So almost amazing. Yeah, 0:12:20.600 --> 0:12:23.160 I know, he's he's really he's great. Did you give 0:12:23.160 --> 0:12:25.040 a little shout up? It was the most funnier tour 0:12:25.120 --> 0:12:27.960 with y'all last year. I'm going to miss fun and 0:12:28.000 --> 0:12:31.400 all the girls and all the guys. I actually just 0:12:31.440 --> 0:12:33.600 talking about that because each year that comes, you know, 0:12:33.640 --> 0:12:36.000 you hope for good females I do on the tour. 0:12:36.080 --> 0:12:37.920 I'm like, I hope the girlfriends are cool, the wives 0:12:37.920 --> 0:12:40.920 are cool, just whoever's out. And last year we really 0:12:40.960 --> 0:12:43.320 hit the jackpot. We really have every year last but 0:12:43.400 --> 0:12:46.120 last year was so much fun. You guys are awesome. 0:12:46.480 --> 0:12:49.640 It was the best time ever. It's hard to talk, 0:12:49.920 --> 0:12:52.040 you know, know, but you know it's okay because we'll 0:12:52.040 --> 0:12:55.080 just be different memories memories from here on. O great, 0:12:55.240 --> 0:12:58.040 great memories, but more to come. I know. I just 0:12:58.080 --> 0:13:00.000 wish we could just redo it just one more year, 0:13:00.040 --> 0:13:03.760 I know, right, Okay, So you started off as an 0:13:03.840 --> 0:13:07.880 NBA dancer and you were with Charlotte the Bob Cats, 0:13:07.920 --> 0:13:10.320 and you are the Lady Cats. So tell me how 0:13:10.320 --> 0:13:12.120 you got into dancing, and tell me what that was 0:13:12.160 --> 0:13:14.320 like to be on a squad of girls, like twenty 0:13:14.360 --> 0:13:17.600 girls working together where their cap byes d'll get along. 0:13:17.679 --> 0:13:20.280 What did you learn from those years of your life. 0:13:20.360 --> 0:13:23.520 I don't really like drama, so I'm you're very not drama. 0:13:23.559 --> 0:13:26.199 Girls like it. I want everyone to get along, and 0:13:26.280 --> 0:13:29.320 I like to build people up. So I don't understand 0:13:29.320 --> 0:13:31.640 why people would break people down. I just don't get it. 0:13:31.720 --> 0:13:35.000 I but you're also like I'm telling you St. Francis 0:13:35.040 --> 0:13:37.920 and pretty much the like you're like a perfect human, beautiful, 0:13:38.000 --> 0:13:41.240 sweet kind saving on the animals. You're very people, beautiful, 0:13:41.280 --> 0:13:43.920 feel great about themselves. Not sure. I definitely have a 0:13:43.960 --> 0:13:47.040 lot of falls tons, however, so I don't think there's 0:13:47.080 --> 0:13:53.479 anythingk you. Um, yeah, it was hey, baby girl. UM, 0:13:53.520 --> 0:13:58.480 it was definitely difficult sometimes because you throw like fifteen 0:13:58.480 --> 0:14:02.400 to twenty plus girls in one little room, blood, sweat, tears. 0:14:02.840 --> 0:14:04.800 And with the NBA, there's so many games, so it's 0:14:04.800 --> 0:14:07.840 not like the NFL. It's not like, um, you know, 0:14:07.880 --> 0:14:10.320 you have like ten games this season or whatever. We 0:14:10.360 --> 0:14:14.160 had forty plus a year, yes, ma'am. And then if 0:14:14.200 --> 0:14:16.160 you make it the playoffs, you've got more. I mean, 0:14:16.400 --> 0:14:19.000 you just never I mean it's like a definitely a 0:14:19.040 --> 0:14:21.320 part time job on top of the job that you 0:14:21.320 --> 0:14:24.000 already have. So it's a lot, a lot of stress, 0:14:24.400 --> 0:14:26.840 a lot of memorization, which I have the worst memory. 0:14:26.840 --> 0:14:29.880 I can't remember anything, the dance moves, and then you 0:14:29.920 --> 0:14:32.400 have to different dance each time, so every week you're 0:14:32.440 --> 0:14:35.760 learning a new dance, and then you've got time out, 0:14:36.040 --> 0:14:39.200 you've got quarter breaks, like you've got so much stuff 0:14:39.200 --> 0:14:42.760 to remember and I have I literally have the worst memory. 0:14:42.840 --> 0:14:45.320 You have your worst memory. I can remember songs, that's 0:14:45.320 --> 0:14:47.080 about it. So how do you do this? So how 0:14:47.120 --> 0:14:48.600 do you learn a new dance every week? How do 0:14:48.600 --> 0:14:50.080 you learn all the new moves every week? You would 0:14:50.080 --> 0:14:51.560 have to really do your homework and go home and 0:14:51.600 --> 0:14:53.800 really practice otherwise you're going to make a butt of 0:14:53.800 --> 0:14:57.520 yourself out on their court, you know. So it was fun. 0:14:57.720 --> 0:14:59.600 It was just a lot. And I did for two 0:14:59.680 --> 0:15:02.000 years and um, it was awesome, Like I got to 0:15:02.000 --> 0:15:04.920 go to Italy. Are you serious? Yeah, they sent six 0:15:04.920 --> 0:15:07.680 of us to Milan for like an NBA tour, which 0:15:07.720 --> 0:15:10.360 was really cool. And then we you know, shot calendars 0:15:10.400 --> 0:15:12.320 and we did so much fun stuff. And that Michael 0:15:12.360 --> 0:15:15.080 Jordan owned the team, so that was pretty cool. You know, 0:15:15.160 --> 0:15:17.360 Michael Jordan's I don't know him no, but you know, 0:15:17.440 --> 0:15:20.160 he would, you know, ever so often just oversee the 0:15:20.160 --> 0:15:22.120 practice and then you'd really have to be on your 0:15:22.120 --> 0:15:24.000 craw and then be at the games. You want to 0:15:24.000 --> 0:15:25.680 make him proud and you want to make everybody proud. 0:15:25.760 --> 0:15:30.320 So it was charl I think he's from North Carolina. 0:15:30.320 --> 0:15:36.120 I mean he went to Carolina. Um, and Hardy said, 0:15:36.120 --> 0:15:38.600 I'm just gonna own that team. Probably the dancers he 0:15:38.640 --> 0:15:40.680 probably knew that day were really good. You know. He 0:15:40.720 --> 0:15:42.720 had a had a fiance at the time, which I 0:15:42.720 --> 0:15:45.200 think they're obviously married now and have children and stuff. 0:15:45.200 --> 0:15:47.760 But she was beautiful, so she was always there with him. 0:15:47.800 --> 0:15:50.280 So we didn't really know him, but um, it was 0:15:50.320 --> 0:15:51.680 just cool the fact that he was at the games 0:15:51.680 --> 0:15:54.000 and stuff. So you wanted to really do good for 0:15:54.080 --> 0:15:56.080 him and for everybody in your coach and our coach 0:15:56.160 --> 0:15:59.080 was awesome, honestly, one of the strongest woman I've ever 0:15:59.120 --> 0:16:02.360 met her. Her best friend and mother both passed away 0:16:02.440 --> 0:16:05.720 from breast cancer when we were dancing, and so it 0:16:05.800 --> 0:16:07.400 was just she was just so strong and she would 0:16:07.400 --> 0:16:10.080 show up and she would keep teaching because that was 0:16:10.120 --> 0:16:12.120 what she was there to do. And she got through that, 0:16:12.200 --> 0:16:14.360 and so she had a lot of hardships. She also 0:16:14.520 --> 0:16:18.160 was pregnant and we had no idea. Yes, and she 0:16:18.200 --> 0:16:21.040 would dance with this belly and we had no clue. Yeah, 0:16:21.160 --> 0:16:23.520 she would teach us these dances and under that little 0:16:23.560 --> 0:16:27.520 T shirt she would be wed. Yeah, she's she's a 0:16:27.640 --> 0:16:29.800 rock star. So what did you learn from interacting with 0:16:29.840 --> 0:16:33.440 twenty women on a regular basis? Pick your battles. I 0:16:33.560 --> 0:16:37.400 love that. Love that, like, is it really worth saying anything. 0:16:37.560 --> 0:16:39.720 It's really good thing to learn, especially with women, because 0:16:40.720 --> 0:16:42.800 sometimes women can go down a spiral and just like 0:16:43.000 --> 0:16:45.320 worry about stuff that probably, like you said, pick your 0:16:45.320 --> 0:16:48.960 battles shouldn't be a battle. So that's amazing, got took 0:16:49.000 --> 0:16:51.120 that away. Yeah, And sometimes it's hard to bite your 0:16:51.120 --> 0:16:53.960 tongue when you just want to say because can you 0:16:54.040 --> 0:16:56.120 just give it up, your little bad apple over there, 0:16:56.160 --> 0:16:59.320 you need to go. But just gotta make it, make 0:16:59.320 --> 0:17:01.760 it work, and you know, the least amount of drama 0:17:01.760 --> 0:17:04.480 the better. Just trying to make everybody laugh and smile 0:17:04.520 --> 0:17:06.879 and have fun. And I've always feel like I'm always 0:17:06.880 --> 0:17:10.960 the goober in the group, which I like because I'm like, hey, 0:17:11.080 --> 0:17:13.240 if they're laughing, I mean they may be laughing at me, 0:17:13.280 --> 0:17:16.959 but at least they're laughing. So that. Yeah, in the 0:17:16.960 --> 0:17:19.240 middle of this, you all show, all show. In the 0:17:19.240 --> 0:17:22.879 middle of this, you also auditioned for American Idol, and 0:17:22.920 --> 0:17:24.840 that was kind of like a life changing moment because 0:17:24.840 --> 0:17:27.680 this is happening the same time you're like dancing, you're 0:17:27.720 --> 0:17:31.080 starting the dancing first time, you're also auditioning. You make 0:17:31.119 --> 0:17:33.760 it to Hollywood. So when you auditioned, Steven Tyler and 0:17:33.840 --> 0:17:36.960 Randy and j Loo were there, and oh my god, 0:17:37.240 --> 0:17:39.760 I love j Lo. But what was it like to 0:17:39.800 --> 0:17:42.359 see them in person? And how did that go? Because 0:17:42.359 --> 0:17:47.120 your voice is so soulful? Oh you're very well. Oh gosh, 0:17:47.119 --> 0:17:48.960 where to start with this one? So the NBA was 0:17:49.000 --> 0:17:51.679 on the lockout. I don't know if you remember that, 0:17:51.720 --> 0:17:54.879 but they didn't have the games, so it was almost 0:17:54.880 --> 0:17:57.120 like and I had such stage fright up to that point. 0:17:57.200 --> 0:17:59.479 I always love singing, but to be honest with you, 0:17:59.520 --> 0:18:03.200 I avoid every single major in college that had public 0:18:03.200 --> 0:18:06.880 speaking as a requirement because I cannot. At the time, 0:18:06.920 --> 0:18:10.560 I couldn't do it. I was like, it's funny, it's 0:18:10.640 --> 0:18:13.760 changing you wrap and dancing karaoke and own a crowd. 0:18:14.080 --> 0:18:17.360 Like now, if you caught me back in college, there's 0:18:17.440 --> 0:18:22.240 no way, There's absolutely no So I um didn't take 0:18:22.240 --> 0:18:24.200 any of those courses in college just because of that. 0:18:24.320 --> 0:18:26.720 And then I started dancing, which then they would threw 0:18:26.720 --> 0:18:28.560 me in on interviews or I would obviously have to 0:18:28.600 --> 0:18:31.160 be dancing in front of tons of people. So then 0:18:31.160 --> 0:18:32.879 I started to build some more confidence in front of 0:18:32.880 --> 0:18:37.160 the camera and everything and then we went to the lockout, 0:18:37.200 --> 0:18:41.120 so NBA stopped having games. So then I was like, well, shoot, 0:18:41.160 --> 0:18:42.760 you know, American I was coming to town. I think 0:18:42.800 --> 0:18:44.280 I'm sure. My parents were like, you gotta go, you 0:18:44.280 --> 0:18:47.600 gotta go. My dad is like my biggest man. He's set, 0:18:48.760 --> 0:18:51.000 so he's like, just try, just try. Why not? So 0:18:51.040 --> 0:18:54.840 I get it could yeah, but you're like, whatever, Dad, 0:18:54.880 --> 0:18:56.600 There's so many people. So I think my year that 0:18:56.640 --> 0:18:59.919 I auditioned, there was a hundred and twelve thousand people 0:19:00.520 --> 0:19:03.119 that auditioned. Yes, ma'am, that is a lot. Did you 0:19:03.160 --> 0:19:05.880 have to wait in line? Yes? How will you will 0:19:06.040 --> 0:19:07.760 wait in line? And then you kind of fill on 0:19:07.800 --> 0:19:11.399 auditorium so it's like an arena, I mean, guaranteed to 0:19:11.440 --> 0:19:15.080 get to sing, you guaranteed sure if you get there 0:19:15.160 --> 0:19:17.919 early enough, so like you have a number whatever it is, 0:19:18.000 --> 0:19:20.000 and then you kind of file out. At some point 0:19:20.080 --> 0:19:22.520 they stopped taking people because there's just a hundred people 0:19:22.600 --> 0:19:26.360 performing one day. Well, I think that was across America, 0:19:26.440 --> 0:19:28.800 so at the time, like in my thing, there might 0:19:28.840 --> 0:19:30.359 have been twelve thousand or something. I mean it was 0:19:30.400 --> 0:19:33.640 a lot though, yes, okay, and so yeah, so then 0:19:33.680 --> 0:19:35.200 you perform and then you have to go through a 0:19:35.240 --> 0:19:37.280 bunch of different stages honestly before you meet the judges. 0:19:37.320 --> 0:19:38.920 So you have to, like you get a lot of 0:19:38.920 --> 0:19:42.080
